Both the White House and South Korean officials have reportedly said the first daughter's trip is not likely to include a meeting with the North Korean delegation to the games.

Vice President Pence declined to meet with North Korean representatives at the opening ceremony of the games earlier this month and avoided North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's sister who was seated next to him and his wife in the VIP seating for the ceremony.

Before a dinner at the presidential residence in Seoul, South Korean President Moon Jae-in emphasized to Ivanka Trump in a closed-door meeting that the U.S. and South Korea must continue to work side by side to force North Korean denuclearization, a spokesman for the president told reporters.
